Over 60 people attended a family reunion in a nice church basement, One meal was totally organic/and or locally grown food.
My mother and daughter baked all the bread and made coleslaw. The meal: organic turkey, hummus, peanut butter and cheese, vegetables, condiments, coffee and tea. Brownies and zucchini bread were baked in a solar oven.
We used tablecloths, real dishes, the dishwasher and composted food waste.
The biggest use of carbon was “love miles” ~ traveling for 60 people scattered across the nation [and world].
We catered two modest, eco-friendly meals.
At the end of a three-day event we had garbage the size of a small bathroom trashcan.
Many said the organic/locally grown meal was best.
Everyone could see everyone else; yet break into smaller groups. Displays included photographs and documents of ancestors, and posters with eco-friendly tips.
Some said it was the best family reunion yet.
